Hi 8, 🐕, your up and on the go early, hope you have breakfast ready for your good lady when she gets home.

I only have the 2 dogs and they are just waking up now.

The beach looks nice is it the Moray coast?

It's really nice and lovely sky, enjoy your day ahead.

The beach is at Alnmouth in Northumberland and I take my two lurchers and Borzoi their first thing as they run hard and I like the solitude. The others will be going to the beach at Boulmer at about 0800.

Have a great day,at the beach with the dogs.

We are going to Portsoy beach and up to Cullen after.

Yorkshire Terriers​.

Have a good one, it's nice down your way.

We were at Haggerston Castle caravan park last year and I have been to the caravan park by the Salmon pub.

Hello Eightdogs and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

Wow! You are an early bird! What a lovely photo too, Northumberland is a lovely place 😀

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for

Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too. If you have any questions please just ask

Best wishes

Anna

I do the beach thing in the middle of winter as well wearing a head torch and using LED cyclists armbands on lurchers collars to avoid mid air collisions!

Already on the case. Have app on phone which keeps an eye on my paces and another that totals the distance and gives me brisk walking 10 minute challenges
